1936 Long Island Commemorative - Guess The Grade!

[HiHoAudio]

Here's a nice 1936 Long Island Commemorative that I recently picked up in an ancient NGC-2 holder, these were famous for causing toning at the top of a coin.

 

Guess The Grade!

 

 

Believe it or not the old "no line fattie" NGC holder doesn't have a scratch or scuff on it.

66ish

Agree, but wouldn't be surprised if it graded 65. Just a few minor ticks, but are greatly exaggerated by the large image. Very nice commem.

It's no MS-66 IMO, but it could be a very choice MS-64 or a low end MS-65. The reed mark in back of the eye would cause me to hesitate to grade this as an MS-65.

I'll call it a 64.

very good eye appeal

 

solid 64

I'm with the 64 crowd.

Looks like a bagmark to me...not "supposed" to detract from grade...but 65 wouldn't surprise me. I would be somewhat surprised at 64 because as someone else mentioned, larger images really blow those marks up.

Nice coin, good eye appeal, MS64.

 

[relicsncoins]

64 seems right.

[jackson64]

it has better eye-appeal than my 65 but the contact marks happen to be in the primary areas on the obverse..cheek, eyebrow, nose..the reverse looks PQ65

[kryptonitecomics]

MS65...no doubt about it unless the TPG said otherwise and then I would add....what do they know anyway

 

 

[HiHoAudio]

Six people got it right, while everyone else was being kind...

 

 

You guys are good! :thumbsup:

Looks like I'm too late; I would have said MS64. I know that many of the old fat soapbox style holders are subject to upgrade, but I don't feel that this is one of them.
